Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of measurement equipment technology, specifically a field archaeological measurement device adapted to complex terrain. Background Technology

[0002] In archaeological fieldwork, accurate measurements are crucial for the excavation, research, and preservation of archaeological sites. However, archaeological sites often feature diverse and complex terrains, including mountains, hills, wetlands, and deserts. Traditional archaeological surveying equipment is typically simple in structure and ill-suited to the demands of such complex terrain.

[0003] For example, some measuring devices have poor support structure stability, making them prone to wobbling or tilting on uneven ground, leading to inaccurate measurement data. Furthermore, these devices have limited adjustment capabilities, unable to flexibly adapt to varying elevation differences in terrain, thus restricting their application in complex terrain. Additionally, portability and ease of installation are crucial in complex terrain, but existing measuring devices are often difficult to carry, and their installation and disassembly processes are cumbersome, causing considerable inconvenience to archaeologists. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing a field archaeological surveying device adapted to complex terrain.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is mainly achieved through the following solution:

[0006] A field archaeological surveying device adapted to complex terrain includes a support mechanism and a surveying mechanism mounted on top of the support mechanism. The support mechanism includes a support base and a support frame. The support base includes a support bottom plate, a support top plate, anchor bolts, and limiting pads. A cylindrical support block is fixed in the center of the upper surface of the support bottom plate. Three sets of anchor bolts are evenly distributed around the axis of the support block on the support top plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the implementation of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments, and any modifications and / or alterations made to this utility model will fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Example

[0027] like Figure 1, 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a technical solution, a field archaeological surveying device adapted to complex terrain, including a support mechanism 1 and a surveying mechanism 2 fixed to the top of the support mechanism 1 by bolts. The surveying mechanism 2 adopts a common total station. The support mechanism 1 consists of a support base 3 and a support frame 4. The support base 3 is used to support the support frame 4.

[0028] The aforementioned support base 3 includes a support base plate 5, a support top plate 6, anchor bolts 7, and limiting pads 8. A cylindrical support block 9 is bolted to the center of the upper surface of the support base plate 5. Three sets of supports are evenly distributed around the circumference of the support top plate 6 along the axis of the support block 9, and the inner shape of the support top plate 6 corresponds to the outer shape of the support block 9. When the support top plate 6 is installed on the support base plate 5, the inner side of the support top plate 6 contacts the side wall of the support block 9. The lower end of the anchor bolt 7 passes through the support top plate 6 and the support base plate 5 in sequence. The anchor bolt 7 is threadedly connected to the support base plate 5. The upper part of the anchor bolt 7 is integrally provided with a limiting part larger than the lower end. During the tightening process of the anchor bolt 7, the support base plate 5 and the support top plate 6 can be fixed together. A rubber limiting pad 8 is glued to the upper surface of each set of support top plates 6. The upper surface of the limiting pad 8 is provided with multiple limiting grooves 10. The support frame 4 is installed through the limiting grooves 10. A level 11 is installed on the inner side of the upper surface of the support block 9. The level 11 adopts a bubble level commonly used in the market.

[0029] The aforementioned support frame 4 includes a top mounting plate 12 and three telescopic support rods 13. The measuring mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the top mounting plate 12 by bolts. The top of the support rod 13 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the top mounting plate 12. A support column 14 is installed at the bottom of the support rod 13. The bottom of the support column 14 is integrally provided with a pointed head 15. Adjacent support rods 13 are fixedly connected by a limiting rod 16 to ensure the stability of the support mechanism 1. Example

[0030] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, this utility model discloses another technical solution, a field archaeological surveying device adapted to complex terrain. The difference from embodiment 1 is that a cylindrical rubber buffer pad 17 is provided on the lower surface of the support base plate 5 away from the support block 9. The buffer pad 17 is fixedly connected to the support base plate 5 by fixing bolts 18. When the three support rods 13 are spread out and at their longest length, the three pointed heads 15 can correspond to the three fixing bolts 18. A rubber pad is glued to the upper surface of the fixing bolts 18. The upper surface of the rubber pad is provided with a groove. The pointed heads 15 are inserted into the groove to ensure the stable support of the support frame 4 on the support base 3.

[0031] Specifically, each supporting top plate 6 is equipped with at least two anchor bolts 7, and the top of the anchor bolt 7 is bolted with a knob 19, which facilitates the installation and removal of the supporting top plate 6 and the supporting bottom plate 5 by rotating the knob.

[0032] Specifically, each limiting pad 8 has multiple limiting grooves 10 evenly arranged along the radial direction of the support block 9, and each limiting groove 10 has a limiting insertion hole 20 in the middle, so that the pointed head 15 can be inserted into the limiting insertion hole 20 to enhance the support stability; the limiting pad 8 is located between the fixing bolt 18 and the support block 9, and when the support rod 13 retracts to adjust the height of the measuring mechanism 2, the pointed head 15 will be inserted into different limiting insertion holes 20. Example

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses another technical solution: a field archaeological surveying device adapted to complex terrain. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the aforementioned support rod body 13 includes a first support rod 21, a second support rod 22, and a third support rod 23 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The first support rod 21, the second support rod 22, and the third support rod 23 are hollow inside and open at both ends. The diameter of the first support rod 21 is limited to the diameter of the second support rod 22, and the diameter of the second support rod 22 is smaller than the diameter of the third support rod 23. The tip of the pointed head 15... The first support rod 21 is inserted into the bottom of the second support rod 22 and fixed by bolts. The top of the first support rod 21 is inserted into the bottom of the second support rod 22, and the top of the second support rod 22 is inserted into the bottom of the third support rod 23. The top of the third support rod 23 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the top mounting plate 12 through a rotating shaft 24. By adjusting the depth of the first support rod 21 inserted into the second support rod 22 and the depth of the second support rod 22 inserted into the third support rod 23, the length of the support rod 13 can be changed, thereby adjusting the height of the measuring mechanism 2.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottoms of the second support rod 22 and the third support rod 23 are respectively fitted with a first locking sleeve 25 and a second locking sleeve 26 by bolts. Both the first locking sleeve 25 and the second locking sleeve 26 are threaded with locking bolts 27. Tightening the locking bolts 27 can fix the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22, as well as the second support rod 22 and the third support rod 23, to ensure that the support rod body 13 remains stable after adjustment.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the side walls of the second locking sleeve 26 are respectively welded with a rotating post 28 and a first limiting post 29. One end of the limiting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the rotating post 28, and the other end of the limiting rod 16 overlaps with the first limiting post 29 of the adjacent second locking sleeve 26. The lower and upper parts of one end of the limiting rod 16 are respectively provided with a first slot 30 and a second slot 31. The limiting rod 16 overlaps with the first limiting post 29 through the first slot 30 to prevent the support rod 13 from shaking during use. Figure 6 As shown, a locking ring 32 is fixedly fitted onto the upper part of the third support rod 23 by bolts. A second limiting post 33 is welded to the side wall of the locking ring 32. When the limiting rod 16 rotates upward and becomes parallel to the third support rod 23, the limiting rod 16 overlaps the second limiting post 33 through the second slot 31, which facilitates fixing the limiting rod 16 when the device is stored. In this embodiment, rubber pads are glued to the inner side walls of the first slot 30 and the second slot 31 to prevent the limiting rod 16 from easily slipping off the first limiting post 29 or the second limiting post 33.

[0036] This utility model provides a field archaeological surveying device adapted to complex terrain. In use, firstly, the top support plate 6 is fixed to the bottom support plate 5 using anchor bolts 7, forming a support base 3. The support base 3 is then pressed down, causing the lower ends of the anchor bolts 7 to insert into the ground. During this process, the level 11 on the support block 9 is constantly observed until the level indicates that the support base 3 is level, ensuring the entire support base 3 is securely installed on the ground and guaranteeing the horizontal stability of the entire device. Next, according to the terrain height, the three support rods 13 are spread out, and the relative positions of the first support rod 21, the second support rod 22, and the third support rod 23 are adjusted, along with the length of the support rods 13. Once the support rods 13 are adjusted to the appropriate length, the locking bolts 27 on the first locking sleeve 25 and the second locking sleeve 26 are tightened to fix the support. The length of the support rod 13 is adjusted, and then the limiting rod 16 is unfolded from the rotating column 28 so that the first slot 30 at one end of it overlaps with the first limiting post 29 of the adjacent second locking sleeve 26, fixing the relative position of the two adjacent support rods 13 and preventing the support rods 13 from shaking; finally, the support frame 4 is placed on the support base 3 so that the pointed head 15 at the bottom of the support column 14 is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 10 on the limiting pad 8 or into the groove of the rubber pad, further enhancing the stability of the support; when storing, first rotate the limiting rod 16 upward so that it is parallel to the third support rod 23, then overlap the second slot 31 of the limiting rod 16 with the second limiting post 33 for easy storage, then loosen the locking screw 27 to retract the support rod 13, and finally disassemble the support top plate 6 and the support bottom plate 5 as a whole for easy carrying and transportation.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
